National Vocational Qualification Sample Clauses

National Vocational Qualification. (NVQ) NVQs - National Vocational Qualifications - are a very significant part of the UK training and development landscape. Introduced first in 1986 by the specially formed National Council for Vocational Qualifications, NVQs have enabled millions of people of all ages in almost all imaginable trades and professions to achieve formal qualifications. While offering basic entry-level qualifications in most trades and skills, many NVQ awards also represent a seriously high standard of competence, comparable to anything a top university might offer, equating to degree level and beyond. Not everyone loves NVQs. For various reasons some people, and some organisations have found them tricky to understand. The recent and ongoing changes and development affecting the NVQ system are partly in response to this, although changes are largely driven by much deeper considerations of improving workplace skills and developing UK national competitiveness in an increasingly competitive global market. NVQs are not just qualifications - NVQs are a system of learning and accreditation as well, which is itself open to a variety of interpretations. NVQs in the UK are now progressively being replaced with QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework) awards, certificates and diplomas. As at 2010 this transition is in progress. Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) In Scotland, where the system of vocational education and training differs from that of the rest of Britain, the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) accredits all Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs).
